SciTech SNAP (System Neutral Access Protocol) is an operating system portable, dynamically loadable, native-size 32-bit/64-bit device driver architecture. SciTech SNAP defines the architecture for loading an operating system neutral binary for any type of hardware device, be it a graphics controller, audio controller, controller or network controller. SciTech SNAP drivers are source code portable between different microprocessor platforms, and the binary drivers are operating system portable within a particular microprocessor family.
SNAP drivers were originally developed for + CPU with any 32-bit operating system or environment supported on that CPU. With the introduction of SNAP 3.0, native binary SNAP drivers are available for 32-bit CPUs and 64-bit x86-64 CPUs. On 2002-8-27, SciTech Software, Inc.
Download SciTech GLDirect 3.0.0. Optimization software for 3D graphics cards. SciTech GLDirect is a utility package for Windows 95/98 that allows OpenGL-based games and applications to access 3D hardware acceleration using the Microsoft Direct3D 6.x drivers graphics hardware manufacturer.
Announced the intention to release the Scitech SNAP driver development kit. On 2006-11-16, SciTech Software, Inc. Announced that it has ceased further development of its SNAP device driver technology in favor of a new line of web and business logic technologies. SciTech also announced that it would begin looking for a buyer for SciTech SNAP. In December 2008 Alt Richmond Inc. Closed the acquisition of SciTech Software’s SNAP technology.
The plans of in 2008 to create OpenSNAP, an open source version of the driver technology, are therefore no longer an option unless Alt Richmond decides to pick this up. In May 2015 Arca Noae, LLC announced that they have reached an agreement with Alt Richmond, Inc.
To license the source code for SNAP Graphics for OS/2.

In SDD 7, the driver was renamed to Scitech Nucleus Graphics driver.
